Tight control over costs coupled with sustained increase in business that is anticipated, will help the Company meet its goals. However, the effect of ongoing war, impact of sanctions, rising inflation, expectations of recessionary behaviour in some markets, forex fluctuations and rising interest rates could act as a dampener. However, the Company is cautiously optimistic on moving towards its strategic business plans.
